Important Note About Lake Access: This home features true lake access, which is rare and highly valued in this area—especially for those wanting a weekend adventure with kayaks or paddleboards! However, we want to be fully transparent: we have a dock where you can launch your non-motorized watercraft (kayaks, paddleboard, etc) the shoreline is owned by the State of Ohio, and while guests are absolutely permitted to access it, it is natural, rocky, and not ideal for inexperienced swimmers or children. The entry point is best suited for experienced lake-goers, and may be challenging for the elderly, toddlers, or anyone with mobility concerns. If you're comfortable with nature’s edge and know how to navigate a rockier shoreline, were offer two free kayaks to use at your disposal. You'll love the opportunity to launch directly into the serene waters of North Reservoir.
Additionally, guests can rent a luxury pontoon or an economy pontoon from us, launching from one of our docks located on the main chain of Portage Lakes, offering even more options for exploring the lake at their leisure.
At our lakefront retreat, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the ones you love. So leave the worries of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the beauty of Portage Lakes. Your perfect getaway awaits. Book your stay at our Serene Sanctuary today and experience the magic of lakeside living at its finest.

Lovely property. Enjoyed the beautiful views and it was ideal for our visit.The owners were great and made sure we had what we needed.We would stay here again!
Perfect weekend getaway! We played cornhole. The kids fished and went kayaking. I had a soak in the hot tub. We played board games, did a jigsaw puzzle, and watched a scary movie. Great place slow down and reconnect with our busy family. Close to a grocery store and several restaurants.
My extended family was gathered in the Akron area for a reunion. This property was clean, comfortable and set up perfectly to accommodate our dog.
We enjoyed playing pickleball at a nearby park and kayaking on Portage Lakes.
Check-in was easy. Host provided clear instructions for everything. Kitchen had all one would need even a kitchen aid stand mixer & cappuccino machine! The home looked even better than the pictures. The decor was adorable without being cluttered. The furniture was comfortable as were the beds.
This home was absolutely stunning. The host was more than happy to go above and beyond to accommodate my family. The home sits with a lake view has a fenced in backyard for your animals that is perfect and a wonderful hot tub for the family to enjoy together.
afenced in yard for your pets
The place was spacious clean and quiet for a parents getaway. Beautiful sunrise over the lake and peaceful sunsets. The host was quick to respond to any needs and very helpful!
We had a wonderful stay at this house. The house is up to date on appliances and decor. Very comfortable furniture with breathtaking views of the lake. Inside and outside this is an exceptional home.
Easy check in beautiful home and views. We had a family wedding in town and this house was perfect for our needs. The air conditioner went out just before we arrived and they had it completely fixed by the next day. We enjoyed the kayaks and the hot tub & the lively master suites!
Pretty view, very nice interior, quiet road, safe neighborhood, and only 1-1/2 miles from the pontoon boat. Super accommodating hosts with the 100 degree heat we had. They came over, checked on the air conditioning unit, and brought us a fan. Plus a couple other things that made it great!
